An oral compact has been breached. And Republicans will have Biden & Son arrested soon enough while Hillary may yet pay for her emails.Op-ed

Peril awaits America now that the 45th President of the United States has been indicted. When a former American president is targeted by the politically despicable woke, we all face disaster.

There are rules in the American game. Most of those rules are set forth explicitly in the U.S. Constitution, its amendments, and two centuries of binding judicial opinions interpreting, adding to, or deleting rules. One might call those rules “America’s Written Law.” And then there are unwritten rules one might call “America’s Oral Law,” the traditions that have been handed down from generation to generation. How can Americans know what these Oral Laws of America are if they are not written anywhere? Americans just do.

This is the most perilous era in American history. Even the Civil War was less threatening to the American Idea than the time in which we now live.

We are the ones sitting on our hands watching it all swirl away…

Precisely.
